Not impressed with products - spill all!

[HelloBoys]

Are there any products you've bought which you just think that was a waste of bloody time and money?!

Now I love Bobbi Brown but this product - Rose Shimmer Brick has done NADA for me doesn't add any colour to my face nor use as an eyeshadow. In fact it's put me off these types of shimmery stuff.

Anyone else got anything they weren't impressed with?!

Used Liz Earle for ages then went to the superdrug hot cloth cleansers which IMHO are much better, smell nicer, cheaper and come with a muslin cloth.

I love 8 hour cream on my lips

Can't stand any clarins or Clinique products, they both irritate my skin

Gave up on all nail polish and now just have gels which don't chip

Vita Liberata self-tan. Hardly works and squirts mess all over the floor (and walls).

Ah now Vita Liberata is the only decent self tan imho! I bought it on a recommendation from MN!

Agree re Superdrug dry shampoo - horribly itchy. And the Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner didn't last 5 minutes before it dried out, what a letdown.

Most recent disappointment has been Benefit Gimme Brow - mine are fairly sparse and this claims to make them look thicker but really natural by darkening all the tiny little hairs. Looked OK in the shop but when I came home and tried it was way too dark and heavy, I may as well have run a loaded mascara wand through my eyebrows, it would have had the same effect. Waste of nearly £20 and I was so hopeful.

On the other hand I love Bad Gal eyeliner and mascara and most other Benefit stuff - Dandelion powder is one of my best ever products.

snatchoo you're more than welcome to it. It's in shade 'light'. Any good?

Bare Minerals, I looked like Peter Andre and Barbara Cartland's lovechild.

Do you mind? It is too early in the morning for such revelations!!!!!!!

For me - Accessorize and MUA eye brow pencils - very waxy - good for eyeliner but too soft for eyebrows unless I really want a scouse brow!!

Chubby Sticks! Conned into buying two and they last all if five minutes on my lips!

Nanoblur. I love vita l tan though

KatoPotato I love chubby sticks! Have you tried the Rimmel colour surge ones? They were recommended to me on here and the colour is a lot more dense [whispers] I don't like it as much as the chubby sticks. I even managed to get the one that would change my life it was such a perfect colour. It didn't.

Max Factor's new 3 day mascara...thought it was the answer to my prayers...it is utter shite..lasted 3 minutes before smearing all over my face..cannot believe how bad it is.

Clinique Even Better compact makeup. It's a re formulated version of the City compact cream foundation, which I loved and they discontinued, but not even better at all. It is very dry. Wish I hadn't wasted my money.

Can't believe how many of my HGs are here!

Vita L tan is the best!
Benefit they're real is the only mascara to give me eyelashes!
Clinique take the day off is genius

MUA nail polish - streaky and crappy brush
Naked hair products

Chanel nail polish. Took me FIVE bottles to realise what crap it is. Consistency is shit, chips very easily even with a good top coat, and the brush is rubbish. Essie all the way from now on!

Benefit mascara. Absolutely crap. Smudged and smeared everywhere. Useless. Spent £19 on it, what a con.

John Frieda mousse, particularly the volumizing one, turquoise, in case you feel inclined, don't go there.

It has taken me 3 cans of the stuff to realised that you must be endowed with the strength of flipping Hercules to get the merest dribble out the nozzle thing.

I have stood in the bathroom, with the thing pressed against my naked body, looking ridiculous , more times that I care to think about.

They gave up when I took the last one to Boots and asked if there was a knack.

There isn't, they refunded me.

Loreal moisturizer - felt like my skin was burning. Benefit mascara, awful stuff. Clarins beauty flash balm - expensive waste of time. Touch éclat- dried out my under eyes so much it almost gave me eczema.

Bio-oil. Didn't work and had a severe and itchy reaction to it.

Ditto Bio oil and ever other oil that promised to stop stretch marks and other things.

I've got stretch marks, I might just as well have massaged £5 notes into my belly.

themoneyone I find Naked hit and miss.... I like their 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner (detox) and also their dry hair conditioner.

But some other stuff is awful, I've used the shampoo or conditioner with I think sunflower in it and it smells vile.

missmartha I'm laughing so much re your comment about £5 notes. Who reviews this stuff?!

8 hour cream...just perfumed Vaseline but not as good.
Clinique skincare - gave me a rash
Most body shop stuff except hemp hand cream which is great.

Nivea in shower moisturiser stuff. Absolute crap and nearly broke my neck slipping about in the shower.

MUA and Chanel nail varnishes. Both are streaky and chip. At least MUA is cheap.

Never found an eyeliner or mascara that I can use on bottom lashes without looking like a panda within minutes.

Just remembered about Origins cream eye brightening eyeshadow (something like that). Creased within minutes, even though I used an eye primer.

Becca shimmering skin perfecter as recommended by the lovely Lisa Eldridge. It looks divine on all her videos, I wore it to school one day and my Head asked me if I was feeling ok. I looked corpse like. Possibly my poor application but it looked very frosty and pale on my skin. Yuk!
